I'm going to guess either navy or army for haiti and that was maybe only that kinda pay because it is a different country?

well right now they are the only plugs that will fit the car right and not hurt it so I guess that will just have to be the price until someone else decides to make a set for the 370z

yea, its bs, hence why my nitrous kit is going on hold. I refuse to pay $105 to ship a item that weights as much as a can of coke, from LA to AB...basically 3000km...total bs. And they are the only place that has plugs for my engine. I checked the dealership, napa, Zex, GTM and some other vendor...no one has them

Well tomorrow is the day for me..

My SS will be visiting O'Regans to have my GMS1 kit installed. It looks like it'll be an ok day weather wise, so it should be good to go. 9 am appointment, can't come soon enough!

Also, i'll be having my other bits and pieces installed once i get the GMS1 on.

Damien, or Pykie, i know both of you guys have had experience with James at Raven, i was talking to him about him putting my exhaust on since i work right across the street from his shop, its also convenient (cat-back/down-pipe), mainly since its bolt on and weld a bit, it should be pretty simple. I'd do it, but i just don't have the tools and access to a garage or anything to do it, so i don't mind paying someone to do it for me. Any input would be great! Thanks guys!

Mike

A downpipe and exhaust is simple work man, all u need is a jack, stands, rachet and torque wrench. That part you can do yourself then go get james to weld it up. Wouldnt cost much. Personally i havent seen any of james work for welding so i cant comment if its good or bad.

Got my GMS1 kit installed today. Only word to describe it is WOW. Everything you read about it is true, if you give it in first and second you WILL spin the tires no matter what, also you can feel a lot more power through 3rd gear as well.

I took it for a nice whirl after work and i am very pleased. The guy that did it at O'Regans even said he'd put on the aftermarket parts.. Need to call and check it out when i'm ready. But a lot of noticeable power with the GMS1. My car is also completely stock other then the GMS1. Can't wait to put my other parts on!

Small update for me...Nismo body kit is orderd Also florence is ordering my new fairings for my bike on April 16th, once those get here ill be installing those and getting the gas tank painted. Boy am i going to have a **** load of money saved up next year. I'm almost done the Olympics. I get back and start my gunners course, then sometime in May i go to Germany for a month to train on the new tanks so ill save money from those pays. Then i get back and I go to Holland for a thing called Nijmegen March...which is a 200km hike in 4 days with our kit on. Thats only a week so not much money saving there. After thats done i start work up training for afghanistan in Sept until early 2011 and ill be all over the place, including California, so i wont have time to spend my money. Then i go to afghanistan for 7-8 months. Twin turbo here i come :P
